Just because a call goes against you, doesn't mean everything stops. R2's run counts, the fiasco at 1st has the BR on 1st. Your team should have been paying attention to R2 and made a play on him rather than everyone Watching F3's foot.

How's that answer, coach?
Probably not correct.

The PU didn't reverse the call, the BU got more information, and reversed his own call. That's how I read it.

If the BR had gone in the dugout, after being called out, would you then call him out for abandonment? Nope. He gets to come out of the dugout, and stand on first.

The tricky part is R2. You have a relaxed play when the third out is called. But R2 hadn't hit the dish yet. I believe that the umpires are allowed to "fix" this however they see fit. And that might mean putting R2 on third.
